Posted on August 21, 2014

Feeling this Thursday pretty hard, huh? What if you contracted a terrible, terrible cold between now and tomorrow morning? What if your partner did too? What if you just… couldn’t make it to work tomorrow, no way no how, time for a four day “recovery weekend”? What if you made this incredible breakfast in bed instead? Celebrity chef Meg Hall shared her recipes for an indulgent breakfast for two, featuring Nutella French Toast (hi) and a Bourbon Chai Latte (HELLO, NURSE). You may never go back to work again.*

*Recipe also works on weekends, but what’s the fun in that?

Ingredients:

2 spiced chai tea bags1

1/2 cups boiling water

6 oz Maker’s Mark bourbon

2 oz half and half
